Toto Grilloven Combines Oven, Grill, And Stovetop In One Outdoor Cooker

HOUSEKITCHEN

Can’t decide whether your backyard needs a grill or an oven? If you enjoy cooking under the clouds, chances are, you’ll eventually find the need for both at some point down the line and that’s exactly why the Toto Grilloven was made.

Built by Italian outfit Alfa 1977, the outdoor kitchen combines a charcoal grill with a brick oven in a single rig, giving you a one-stop shop for outdoor cooking right in the backyard. Combining the two should help optimize the use of space, all while ensuring you have exactly what you need, whether you get the hankering to enjoy steaks, burgers, or a crispy slice of pizza.

The Toto Grilloven is built along a table form factor that looks like it could make for a functional outdoor sink and worktop if you take out the cooking rigs and install some plumbing equipment instead. The oven sits along the left hand side while the grill sits along the right, so you can actually bake a pizza and keep an eye on it, while grilling up some ribs and burgers just a step or two away for quite the convenient setup.

The traditional-style brick oven has a cooking area that measures 23.6 x 19.7 inches (width x depth), so you can use it to bake fairly large pizzas and large loaves of bread, instead of being confined to 12-inchers like many modern designs. It has integrated thermometer, so you can see the exact heat levels while you’re preheating the oven, so you can know immediately when it’s ready to start cooking and when you might need to add a little more wood.  An integrated duct releases all smoke from the oven overhead, so the backyard need not be covered in fumes the entire time you’re cooking.

For the grill, the Toto Grilloven can accommodate both charcoal and wood for fuel, with a cooking surface that measures 23.6 x 23.6 inches ensuring you can cook a lot of food in one go. Do note, only half of that surface is actually covered with a cooking grid, although at 278 square inches, it can accommodate a good load of food. The other half is covered with a cook deck top that lets you use the grill as a functional stove top, so you can cook those stir-fry vegetables for lunch outdoors, too, if you want to do all your cooking outside the house.

All the basic accessories you’ll need are in tow, including a fuel rack for the oven, another one for the grill, and a grid lifter in case you want the grill a little higher than the default height (hey, it sucks being tall sometimes, too). Aside from the grill and the oven, the setup includes a pair of generously-sized storage drawers underneath the oven, so you can keep all your cookware and accessories within easy reach (just make sure to clean them up first, lest attract unwanted pests in the backyard).

Available now, the Toto Grilloven is priced at £4,195.

  1. I’ve seen a lot of really cool multi-use, different styles, variations and technologies – even mobile Apps and temperature control devices lately on the site, so it’s always refreshing to see more of new, combining technology.

    Obviously, having the ability to cook your meats or foods with so many different types of devices, or smoking them, BBQing them, etc. is an excellent thing to have – and will save you money in the long run. This thing is huge, and I absolutely love the design in which they combined the stove-top on top of the grill/BBQ – very nice setup! The accessories are cool, and the drawers were a solid touch, but man is this price-tag high! Pretty impressive that you can bake a pizza in it, and use it in as an oven. I really like the smoke exhaust setup, seems very practical and will make it more pleasant and less painful to try breathing when tending to the food over the grill lol.

    1. The price is very high. I’m going to look to see if there is something similar to this that is still built well, but more affordable. cooking pizza outside would be the cat’s meow! I could also cook up a huge batch of tamales without heating my house up. For the tamale fundraisers, we have the kids from the local high school come over and we make over 1,000 tamales in a single weekend. It is hectic, hot, and a lot of fun. I would much rather have them doing it outside as it would also cut down on the wear and tear of my carpet.

  2. Cooking Lasagna outdoors is something I’d do with this in the hot summer time. I dislike having to heat my house up to cook and feel too limited by sticking with microwave only cooking.

    How durable is the Toto Grilloven? Will it be able to stay outdoors in the harsh winter snows and cold temperature?

    1. I’d be most worried about the handles. On the Toto website is says that the handles are weather resistant, so in cold winters it could potentially cause some damage. The ceramic glass door is rated to withstand super-high heat, but it does not say about the cold. I would suggest building a patio cover to keep this under and then run the chimney thru the cover. That is what I would do if I was to get one, but the price will prohibit me from getting one anytime soon.

      1. Although the Toto Grilloven is made of stainless steel, you still need to be careful with rust. It is much harder for stainless steel to rust, but it does happen regularly. some types of stainless steel are much more prone to rust. I assume that the Toto Grilloven is using a higher grade of stainless that is less prone to rust, but I am just speculating on that.

  3. The Toto Grilloven might be the best looking outdoor grill oven on the market. I doubt they will sell very many here in the United States because of the higher price, but maybe if they become more popular the retail price may come down a bit.

    When I was younger my grandmother still cooked occasionally on an old wood burning stove that was over 30 years old. I was amazed as a kid the first time I saw her cooking food on the top of it and baked potatoes inside of it. She said that was how they always cooked their food when she was growing up. The Toto Grilloven is much fancier and able to cook more varieties of food than a simple cast iron wood stove, but it also costs more. The thing is, if you took care of it the Toto Grilloven would last you for the rest of your life.

    1. The TOTO oven does look really nice, but looks should be secondary. A well-used stove will often get dings, dents, and scratches, so if looks are your primary concern you will be disappointed. If you prefer something that both looks great and is a great oven then the Toto oven is just one of many choices. I would prefer a cheaper Toto oven alternative. With a cheaper alternative stove, I wouldn’t be as worried about it getting discolored or damaged in inclement weather.
